	RULE MATTERS

Item 17.	Docket No. 2001-0263-RUL. Consideration for publication of the following proposed amendment of sections and the repeal of a subchapter in 30 TAC Chapter 336, Radioactive Substance Rules: The amendments to Subchapter A, General Provisions, Section 336.2; Subchapter D, Standards for Protection Against Radiation, Sections 336.305, 336.307, 336.310, 336.312, 336.315, 336.316, 336.319 - 336.322, 336.335, 336.341, 336.346, 336.358, and 336.359; and Subchapter G, Decommissioning Standards, Section 336.611. The repeal of Subchapter I, Financial Assurance, Sections 336.801 - 336.807.

	These proposed amendments will conform Chapter 336 to United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules on radiation protection standards. The NRC has made minor rule changes mainly involving respiratory protection equipment updates, and the amendments track those NRC rule revisions using essentially identical language. Subchapter I is proposed for repeal because its requirements were incorporated into 30 TAC Chapter 37, Subchapters S and T, in an earlier rulemaking.

A preliminary review of the rules in Chapter 322 indicates that they are ineffective and unused; therefore, repeal of the chapter is proposed. (Jill Burditt/Louis Herrin) (Rule Log No. 2000-039-322-WT)

Approve publication, RM/RH. All Agree

Item 19.	Docket No. 2001-0281-RUL. Consideration for publication of, and hearing on, the following proposed new, repealed, and amended sections of 30 TAC Chapter 106, Permits by Rule and corresponding revisions to the state implementation plan (SIP):

	Section 106.454 -	Degreasing Units

	One new section would specify recordkeeping requirements for facilities authorized under permits by rule. The other new section would replace the repealed section to limit the amount of emissions from maintenance and associated activities that may be authorized under permits by rule. The amended sections would clarify the use of fuel oil in certain small boilers, establish the types of emissions that may be authorized from pipelines and the types of records required, and clarify the requirements for remote reservoir degreasers. Chapter 106, Subchapter A, General Requirements, which includes proposed new Section 106.8, would be submitted as a revision to the SIP.
